Wow. That's something quite great for product team who need to include a comunity around their service or product. Just wonder how it works for the BtoB side and with what i can plug it (and how) but some great things can be done.

  You can actually setup a webhook that will be called all the time there is a new message. You can integrate this webhook with pretty much anything with some setup. It's only the beginning though, we hope to make more integrations and improve the dashboard for moderation etc...

This is exactly what I needed, all other solutions I've been exploring so far have either been a pain to set up or a pain to use for my users. Price seems good for what's being sold too, it's ridiculous how some competitors ask for twice that amount but cannot even do basic UX!!

  Thanks for the nice feedback!

I used to work at MLB.com and think this would be amazing for sports focused communities. You should definitely start showing this off to them! Great job

  Thanks a lot for the feedback! That's exactly the type of community we think would be interested by this.

Is it possible to embed your product in a single web application and have different communities for each of my clients? Each client will have multiple users.

  Not sure I fully understand the question. But with one account for you, you can create as many "apps" as you want. Each of your apps will all have their own tag to install on the websites of your client, each of them with their own users and channels/topics.

Getting friends to do promotional votes and comments isn't ok on HN. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. We ban sites and accounts for doing this, so please don't. Also, it's usually obvious to the HN community when this is happening, and they consider it spamming. We want users to upvote submissions that they personally find intellectually interesting, not because they or their friends have something to promote.
